1AA Section Tournament
Moderators: Mitch Hawker, east hockey, karl(east)
pleaseee shut up about how bad you think this section is! Teams rise and fall all the time and right now, yes, we all know that section 1 is probably the worst section. But guess what...any section can have this happen to it. The Rochester schools are as down as they ever will be probably(especially JM), and Lakeville just spilt. Give this section a couple more years and watch what happens. Look at Lakeville South, 2 years ago they went 2-24-1...this year they are .500 in the tough lake conference. I'm saying that there is enough talent in the rochester and Lakeville communities comming up to make them legit state title contenders. Also, try spliting minnetonka, eden prarie, or burnsville into 2 or 3 schools like rochester and lakeville did and see how good they will be...

First, what a horribly officiated game. No consistancy, 1 ref called 10 of the 12 penalties and 7 of the 8 on Century, all but Maddens cheap shot with 5 seconds left in the game.
How bad was it? #9 from Mayo was down tangled up with a Century kid and the whistle was blown for an injury to #9, after they get untangled he goes to his bench only to be told he didn't get off quick enough and had to go back out there.
How bad was it? Century had pressure on and a puck comes from the Mayo student section into Century's end of the rink, #18 scores but it's waved off because of the extra puck. The ref who blew the whistle was within 10 ft of the puck and didn't pick it up.
Century was awful, as has been their problem all year you could throw a blanket over all 5 guys on the ice. More than once they had all 5 in the same corner, Mayo's 5th goal came when all 4 Century players were touching the boards, I'm pretty sure that's not how you draw up a penalty kill.
Mayo got down 2-1 early and Yaggy was shaky, but they pulled it together and played well from then on. They took advantage of Century's mistakes and kept their heads in the game. They were the better team, they'll need to be even better to beat Lakeville South.
Give me Dusso, Fedoryk, and Zmolek anyday. These clowns were bad.

Well, when he stands up tall after the whistle blows I wouldn't say it was a goal. But anyway yeah that was a dick move by the ref not taking it off the ice.

Interesting analysis...or one could say, first of all, what horrible analysis - what game were you watching?
Yaggy was clearly the better goalie tonight despite the horrible start - not quite what you predicted earlier. Ewing has been in big games, but has never, I repeat never been a big game goalie. He has always given up soft goals and he was shaky tonight.
Penalties should have been about 16-20 for Century. Maybe one guy called most of them, but they overlooked some really big cheap shots throughout the game....certain Century forwards in the single digits got away with murder and they will both be back next year. At least they got the Madden cheap shot at the end. Also, the Panthers continued to take runs at the transfer for kid for Mayo - shot after shot to the head with no calls. Mayo should have had 10 PPs tonight. They scored three PP goals.
Skill won this game.....Mayo still did not work hard enough and seemed very tight at times, but they have scoring punch and it showed.
The last goal #18 for Century was not on the boards, he was walked like a PeeWee D by Thauwald....I mean walked - totally flat-footed and swining his stick - he was not on the boards. Mayo got goals from five different players - 3 of them from the '2nd line'.
Yaggy definitely gave up on the whistle for the extra puck. I did not see where it came from, but I know the one during introductions came from the Century students.
Mayo must be better in their own end to win Saturday. However, they can score and if they get chances they could score enough to win Saturday despite the storied netminder of LS. It will all come down to how many the Spartans give up.

SEMinn has it right...
Although Century did not look that bad, they were running all night at Mayo. There easily could have been another 10 calls in that game on Century and another 5 on Mayo for retaliating...
Mayo struggled at times in their own end, but man did they captilize on their opportunites tonight. Thauwald's goal was a beaut, schooled that poor D!
The waved goal happened about three seconds after the whistle. Ref should have just picked the puck up instead of using the whistle, Yaggy stood up as soon as the whistle sounded, and I don't know what #18 was doing shooting after 3 seconds... He walked in two strides before he shot after the whistle...
I don't think Mayo can play on Saturday like they did tonight in their own end. If they do, it will be a long night for Mr. Yaggy...
Ahhhhh... Post Season High School hockey nuttin' better

Did Century run at Mayo? Yes. That garbage wasn't called, instead they throw Madden in the box for a hook, from across the rink no less ,when the Mayo kid trips on the boards. Madden was 6 feet away from him. I have no problem running Joe Faupel or others for the crap they do but throwing that ticky tack stuff is bad. In fact of the first 12 penalties called on both teams maybe Alexander's trip was legit, and that's a maybe at best. Calling the game the way they did was brutal. It's tough on the players when the 2 guys are calling it completely different. Lund's elbow is a great example, the Mayo kid turtled, which is never called down here but Lund was put in the box, later Martini turtled but no call.
Quality not quantity. Mayo's defense and forwards did a very good job of making Century shoot the puck from the perimeter, they also did a very nice job of collapsing and stick checking Centruy's forwards. Centruy did a bad job of letting that happen, they weren't strong on their sticks. Ewing let 1 bad goal in, Mayo had quality shots as they usually do. Mayo also hit the net when they shot allowing them to crash the net. Yaggy was shaky, the defense picked him up like any good team will do.
Mayo played the more disciplined game, Century looked bad. JM isn't a very skilled team but at least they play some what spread out. Ordahl came off the boards, that's why his feet got so crossed up on Thauwald, he was never set in front of him. I was on the catwalk, I didn't hear the whistle, just saw the puck in the net, it's tough when there is no reason to expect a whistle. In fairness during the Century WBL game someone in the Century student section had a whistle and blew it during thatgame so it's not like Mayo is the only school to pull that garbage, what's disturbing is even though they knew who did it he wasn't ejected from the building.
Edit: As for Ewing, he has been very good in big games, he kept Century in the Roseau game when his defense turned the puck over time after time in their own end. In fact that whole state tournament he played behind defensemen who couldn't handle a forcheck and forwards who didn't help out. It is possible to give up 5 goals and play well. I thought he played well tonight, 2 of Mayo's goals were a direct result of not covering up after a faceoff, neither of which was even won by Mayo, Thauwalds goal was picture perfect, not many goalies would save that.

Mayo's defense looked shaky as heck tonight...they really didn't do a good job of anything. As for Century shooting from the perimeter...I think you are mistaken. They were dumping the puck in because they are so bad that they can't perform a simple 3-2 line rush into the zone. Or maybe J.K. thinks these guys are the Bemidji(sp) State Beavers that won the DII National Championship back in the 90s and that dump and chase, capitalize on a more skilled opponents few mistakes, strategy will work. I say yes it works, but not in game 4 vs. an opponent that knows you are doing it and prepares very well for it.

Speaking of lucky bounce, who threw the extra puck on the ice at the Mayo/Century game that caused a Century goal to be disallowed?Lucia4President wrote:Lakeville South should handle Dodge Country
Mayo vs Century- Whoever gets that lucky bounce late in the game wins
Owatonna should beat Winona
Lakeville North should beat Farmington
The only game that comes down to the wire should be Mayo-Century, but you never know.

Semi's are Saturday - predictions?
Owatonna vs L'ville North: I think Owatonna will prevail. I know I've read about their coach being overbearing and tiring them out, but I think they will have enough to beat North. Plus, I'd like to have one big 9 team in the sectional final!
Owatonna 4 North 2
Mayo vs L'ville South: Which Mayo team will show up - the team that beat Century Thurs night or lost to Century before? Lakeville South seems to be playing well, and has beat some quality teams (Rosemount is a good example). Previuos game between these two had a wild ending, with Mayo getting an empty netter to go up 2, only to have LS score 2 in the last minute to tie it up. I want Mayo to win, but....
L'ville S 5 Mayo 3
South's toughest game to get to state might be Saturday, not in the sectional final on the 29th.

Goldy, please don't tell me you think the three amigos(DFZ) would qualify to referee in Section play. They may be neat guys to go get a beer with or play golf with, but they are as inconsistent with their calls as they are with their sex lives.
